The problem provided asks for the predicted population of Orlando, Florida, in the year 2010, given the following information:

- In 1995, the population was 175,000.
- The population was growing at a rate of 2,000 people per year.

To solve this, we need to calculate how much the population increased from 1995 to 2010, which is a period of 15 years.

1. **Population Growth Calculation**:  
   Growth per year = 2,000  
   Total growth in 15 years = \( 2,000 \times 15 = 30,000 \)

2. **Predicted Population in 2010**:  
   Initial population in 1995 = 175,000  
   Population in 2010 = 175,000 + 30,000 = 205,000

Therefore, the predicted population of Orlando in 2010 is **205,000**.

Would you like more details on any part of this calculation? Here are five related questions to further explore this:

1. How would the population change if the growth rate doubled?
2. What is the general formula for linear population growth prediction?
3. How can we predict population if the growth rate is not constant?
4. What if the population grew exponentially instead of linearly?
5. How would this prediction change with a declining growth rate?

**Tip:** Always check whether the growth rate given is constant or variable before applying linear methods!

In 1995, Orlando, Florida, had a population of 175,000. At that time, the population was growing at a rate of about 2000 per year. Predict the population of Orlando's population in 2010.

Learn how to predict population growth using a simple linear model. In this example, we predict the population of Orlando, Florida, in 2010, starting from a 1995 population of 175,000 with a growth rate of 2,000 people per year. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
